Brooke Greenberg
Brooke Greenberg is 16 years old, but she has a body of toddler, and has baffled scientists and is said to bear secrets to the process of aging.
The infant size teenager is otherwise absolutely normal and in good physical health, aside from her size and development.
She has three sisters who are all completely normal children.
Brooke has been treated with human growth hormone, but didn’t responded, as if she’s immune to aging.
Weighing at just 16 pounds, 2 feet 6 inches high, Brooke can’t speak but she can convery expressions of happiness and frustration.
Brooke’s cells and DNA has been sampled and studied.
Scientists are trying to ascertain why Brooke’s aging process has been so irregular, and with that hopefully understand our very own aging process.
Doctors think Brooke has a genetic mutation that inhibits her growth.
